Hi to all!!
I've recently installed 1.4.1 on a Decstation 3000/300, and I need to
agree that the installation is real pleasure trip, now: congratulation
to the team!!

1) SCSI: I've put on the machine a Seagate Barracuda HD, that on a pci
adapter reach the peak of 7Mb/sec when doing "dd ... etc etc", but on
this alpha reach just 1.3Mb/sec. Is this the level of performance I
should expect or there is something to tune ?

2) RAM: according to the manual, the Decstation accept only ECC RAM; is
there any way to use non-ecc SIMM ??

Best whishes,
Marco.
